Just got a zune from ebay...

furry · 01-31-2008, 11:09 AM

It is the halo editon but it didnt come with the cd.

I have looked hours and finally got the software but now the computer doesn't recognize the zune.

When I plug it in, it says to put it the install cd to start the wizard, but I dont have the cd

anyway to bypass this?

Where did you download the software from?

furry · 01-31-2008, 11:14 AM

SZIP2

from this forum.

youll probly need the old software if its a new Halo Zune, i will still have the old firmware on
try this http://www.zuneboards.com/forums/zto...6-szip-v1.html

They don't need the old software. Try uninstalling the software and installing it from the zune website.

Saffy · 01-31-2008, 11:21 AM

ok sorry, i thought you had to have the old one for the old firmware

furry · 01-31-2008, 11:21 AM

ok, but the software works fine, it's just that the computer itself doesn't recognize the zune, it says to put in a cd but i don't have one.

any help on that?

edit: hmm...now it asks where is "Zunediriver.ddl" is. anyone knows where?

CameleonMK · 01-31-2008, 11:27 AM

That's why you need to download the software from the website. Your missing files. Try doing what I said before.

furry · 01-31-2008, 11:39 AM

done, now how do i activate the software?

it didn't create an icon on the desktop

CameleonMK · 01-31-2008, 11:42 AM

Go in the start menu and drag the icon to the desktop.

furry · 01-31-2008, 11:51 AM

ok, everything ran perfectly, now it asks to update the zune, how would I go about doing that?

and how do i "restore the zune device firmwire"?

the zune is stuck on that screen.

CameleonMK · 01-31-2008, 11:57 AM

In the software go to device> settings> update.

furry · 01-31-2008, 12:02 PM

I know I sound so noobish when I say this, but where is "devices"?

and how do i "restore the zune device firmwire"?

the zune is stuck on that screen.

CameleonMK · 01-31-2008, 12:07 PM

I should be right next to collection above music.

furry · 01-31-2008, 12:09 PM

oh wow I also forgot to mention i'm using the all-black version.

and how do i "restore the zune device firmwire"?

the zune is stuck on that screen.

CameleonMK · 01-31-2008, 12:13 PM

Yea, that would have helped. Ummm, let me remember back. Your zune should show up on the left side. Right click it and choose update.

furry · 01-31-2008, 12:18 PM

ok, amazingly enough it said I already had the latest update, yet the screen on the zune is stuck on "restore the zune device firmware"

CameleonMK · 01-31-2008, 12:21 PM

Disconnect it, turn it off, and try again.
